“Motorists need to be cautious and exercise patience by not driving recklessly, especially against the traffic to reduce mishaps during the harmattan.
“In addition, they need to shun wrongful overtaking because of poor visibility,” he said.
Taofiq implored motorists to ensure that their vehicles’ headlamps, parking and brake lights are functioning well before getting their vehicles on the roads.
He emphasized the need for them to always check their battery terminals because it is possible for the battery to run down during the harmattan.
The unit Commander further enjoined motorists to desist from over loading and shun any act that could lead to unnecessary loss of lives.
